Pep Guardiola is ready to freeze Ilkay Gundogan out of his Manchester City plans – until the captain brings his wife to eat at the manager s top table.
Sara Gundogan this week complained about the cuisine on offer in Manchester, saying there was horrible food everywhere .
She even claimed it was a struggle to find anything fresh, suggesting restaurants were using frozen food and had an obsession with making money from selling high-priced drinks.
The comments on Instagram made the front page of a major tabloid newspaper and did not go down well among Manchester s restaurateurs.
Guardiola owns an eatery in the city himself, a Spanish tapas spot.
When asked about the remarks from the City midfielder s wife, Guardiola initially appeared to agree with her stance, saying: It is right.
Amused by the topic, he quickly changed tack to jokingly add: I m disappointed she still didn t [try] my restaurant. That is what is annoying me. Gundo s not going to play one more minute
I m going to invite her, and Gundo as well, to go to Tast. Of course they re going to eat properly.
It s such an honour to captain this amazing team What a performance!
